Started smelling gas fumes. Service engine light came on. Took the truck to advance auto to get the codes off of the computer and the tech said it has to do with the engine and that I should take it to the dealer. Dealer says it's the exhaust manifold and it has cracks in it. Would cost about $2000 for parts and labor.
Both exhaust manifolds cracked. Never heard of this happening on a full size truck before. Potential for exhaust fumes to get into passenger compartment.

- What is wrong

- Risk
- This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the highway, which could cause a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fuel sender unit inside the fuel tank with a new improved sender card. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 22, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
